Dispelling Myths about Weight Training

So many common beliefs about weight training are just simply untrue. Here are a heap of myths about weight training; read on and learn the truth!

Myth #1: You’ll get huge unless you lift light weights.

Reality: The only way your muscles will burst the seams of your dress shirts is if you regularly lift extremely heavy weight repetitions — and if you have a body type that will even allow for the development of mega muscles.

Myth #2: You're the only one in the gym baffled by the equipment.

Reality: Nobody is born knowing how to operate the Assisted Dip Machine or perform a Decline Chest Fly! Weight training equipment can baffle even the sharpest of minds.

Myth #3: Weight lifting is dangerous.

Reality: If Justin Bieber tried to hoist a 100-kilogram barbell overhead, that would be dangerous. But if you use good technique and common sense, you're likely to stay injury-free.
